Help resurrect epornreview

I'm new to GFY, please help me

Here's my story:
I made epornreview.com a few years back in college just for fun, but all the sudden it started spitting out all this money and it was awesome.

The site has been feeding me revenue ever since, with minimal effort on my part?there was one redesign in 2004 I think, but other than that I'd say I only spent 80 hours a year on it (from 2003 after launch to spring 2007). The revenue paid for my college education, so it was enough that when it started to go down severely last year I tried to work on the site in my spare time.

I tried a ton of shit to try to get the revenue to pick up, as much as I could on the weekends: added a bunch of new features, new sites, tons of new indexed girls, more gallery links, more content, tgp style galleries, google adwords, broker traffic, and speed optimization.

I studied the stats, none of this seemed to help. There is literally no correlation between any of the work I did last year on it, and the traffic/revenue stats (except for buying traffic obviously)

So here's my question:
Anybody out there have any suggestions? I mean, I have no clue what other people make off their pornsites and/or how much time they spend on it, but in 2004 I made 80k and literally did not spend more than a couple days working on the site. It would be so nice to have that again. I just switched jobs and I don't have the time or patience to keep trying to revive the site and failing. That's why I need help.

I think I've narrowed it down to my Google ranking. Are SEO companies as easy as they sound? Can anyone suggest a good one?

Should I just give up? Sell the site? I'm pretty sure it would be worth a lot, it still made about 20k last year...

Should I hire someone to help me get it back up to speed? If anyone out there thinks they can revive the site, I'd be willing to work out a deal.

Well, thanks in advance for the help.
